Little Hare

March 2, 2019

Hooray! We have come to the end of another GREAT week! 

African American History 

Our African American History  Presentations   was a  success!  Students did and AWESOME job  presenting their speeches, creating their posters, and dressing as their hero!  A  special thanks to you for  your  continued  support!   I have posted pictures and videos on Classtag for you to view.   

CiCi's  Pizza  

On Tuesday, March 3rd @ 9:15 , we will have a field  study at  CiCi's  Pizza  in Sandhills.  During the  Lunch & Learn, students will  get a tour of the restaurant, receive a fun facts worksheet, and use scales, measuring cups, and rulers to solve problems while creating their lunches.  

Market Day

On Friday, March 20th,  students will have a wonderful opportunity to participate in “Market Day”.   This will be a great way to help students get a understanding of economics by creating a business plan, producing a good or service and selling it to their classmates in a “market place” setting.      Students received a copy of this information on Thursday in their blue communication folder.

Pictures

Our Spring Picture/Class Group Picture day will be next week, Thursday, March 5th.  The only students that will take individual pictures are those who bring money in the envelope or those who pay online.   All students will be a part of the class photo.

MAP Testing

Second Grade students will take the end of the year MAP Test (Measure of Academic Progress)  at the end of March.  This is a computerized  test which helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve learning for all students and make informed decisions to promote a child's academic growth.  Below  is a site to help students prepare for success.
